How does the machine clean facial oils off the mask? Do you still wash it?

I do not have a problem with facial oil as I wash my face before bed. I have not had a problem with bacterial pimples since using this machine. It is wonderful and the company staff are most helpful.

When I was researching, I read someone's comment that you'll have bacteria free oil on the mask. Personally, I am prone to breakouts, but I'm also lazy. I don't wash my nose pillows or headband, and I have no problems with acne or anything. If the pillows get too oily feeling I'll wash them, but that's maybe every two weeks.

I have oily skin, and even though I clean my face before going to bed, the mask gets oily by morning. So every night I quickly clean it with a mask wipe, which I purchase here on Amazon. It just takes a few seconds.

All I can tell you is that I don't have oily skin, and having said that....No I never wash my masks. You can of course if you want to, or feel you need to. I've honestly never had a problem at all. I do like pad a cheek to keep from sweating in the mask. I hope this helps😉

I occasionally clean my mask, but not as often as I did before using the SoClean. It is just my personal preference. When I decide that I want to clean my mask I usually just wipe it with a c-pap wipe, which are also available on Amazon. The main advantage of the SoClean, is that it sanitizes your mask and tubing thus lowering the chance of respiratory infections caused by a dirty machine. I have also found that it extends the usable life of my mask and pillows. I would definitely recommend getting one whether you want to clean your mask in addition to using it or not.

Don't know how it cleans facial oils off the mask, but it works better than gentle soap and water. I've had no rashes or pimples in the mask area since starting to use the SoClean. My diligence at using the "horrible CPAP machine" every night is all due to the ease and thoroughness of the SoClean machine. I was going to keep washing it once a week, but found that the SoClean machine does it so much better!

I went off the CPAP machine so I no longer use the SoClean. But when was using it, I didn't wash the mask any more. Don't know about the facial oils. You might try their customer service dept. I found them to be very helpful. Good luck.

I don't, but then I wash my face as part of my preparation for bed, so there is not a lot of build up on my mask.

While I'm in the shower I just massage a quarter sized amount of my grapeseed/castor oil mixture onto my face and with the water quite hot but not scalding you soak a washcloth, place it over your face for 15-20 seconds and then wipe the oil from your face. Google Ocm crunchy Betty, they have a couple blog posts about it.

Hi I just clean mine the same way I clean the wet container.... couple drops of soap with hot water and turn the machine on for 1 minute rinse and its good :)

Mr. Coleman, you should have expected and received a multilingual 'manual' that details Respironics' "Instructions for Use ..." - English - pages 1 and 2. Some of the recommendations for care of your Chin Strap are: wash by hand or delicate cycle of wash machine; use mild laundry detergent (cold or warm water) - rinse - (do not wring or twist) - line dry. There are cautions to avoid the use of bleach, alcohol, or cleaning solutions containing conditioners or moisturizers. Sincerely, Richard

Dish soap works best and use cleaning mode. Unless you have an air compressor with a blower attachment. Also an occasional swab with alcohol helps keeps things sanitary too. My face will break out if I don't clean it once a week.

Given the weight and construction of this eye mask, I think that machine washing this would damage the elastic strap or the seams. For this type of mask, I think it would be safer to hand wash it in a sink and let it air dry.

No I have not used any oils, I use a scrub after the machine so my skin feels amazing!

Use 4 pumps , leave it on 5 minutes them use the cleansing pads to remove. Start at the top of your face and work down . I used a magnifying glass to read my directions,

I just used a warm wash cloth in the mornings. At night I use Olay Facial Cleanser. Nancy

You sterilize it by first cleaning gently with warm soap and water and then i soak it in alcohol about 5-15 min. Before I use it, I also clean my face (or the area you're treating) with alcohol and my fingers as well. Just to be sure everything is clean before using the roller. Since they are needles, you need to watch that everything is clean. I'm not so sure how it would be for people with acne. I know it helps treat acne scars. For me, I only use it for the fine lines and wrinkles.

I wet my face, I apply cleanser onto my entire face (your choice of cleanser), then I just use the brush. After I'm finished the brush head pops off, so it's easy to clean!

Sorry for taking so long to answer the question, the only spot I have that is really oily is around my nose, I have a face wash that I use that helps that, before I put the VITAMIN C or any think on my face I wash it with a special facial wash. I don't know if it would work on removing the oil, I do know that when I use both my face is not oily anymore. I use CLEAN & CLEAR MORNING BURST as it is Oil Free.

My husband has had this mask for a few years - I put it in a lingerie bag and wash it on the "Hand Wash" cycle in my machine then lay flat to dry. It is no worse for wear and keeps it clean enough for my allergy-riddled husband.

I have been using this product for years. I am not sure I understand your question. I put the cleanser on a warm washcloth and wash my face.

You can remove it washing your face with any make up remover. I don`t use any special one. Even with a face soap.

I never washed it off. I put it on before bed. If your skin is very dry you can put face cream over it.
